I hereby champion the cause of all uninterested and absent South American cyclists and will do my utmost to prevent the South America forum from being annexed by The Crazy Red State or The Crazy Blue State.

That is unless one side or the other can promise me 10+ acres of fertile coca plants and a pot full of Montezuma's gold.

"...in Las Vegas where -the electric bills are staggering -the decor hog wild -and the entertainment saccharine -what a golden age -what a time of right and reason -the consumer's king -and unhappiness is treason..."

Sure, Extort, there's plenty of coastline and Mayan pyramids to split among the SoCal BikeForum members annexing South America. As for the Yucatan, that isn't in South America. As I pointed out in the help forum, Central America has been left out of the fun. We'll annex that, too.

If you notice this notice then you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing.

Good points.

And now that I think of it, in order for me to get a pot of Motezuma's gold, SoCal will need to annex Mexico.

And I do not recognize any claims made by California or Pacific NW on any part of South America.

Neither do I, although actually, all us Texans want is the wildlife to barbecue and the alcohol production facilities. You west coasters can have hugging rights to all the trees and free reign of the granola output.

Cool. Perhaps we can sign a SoCal-Texas land use treaty. We get the beaches, Mayan pyramids, rain forests, and Montezuma's gold. (Don't worry. We'll let you use the velodrome that Extort plans on building around his pyramid.) You get the wildlife and alcohol and the mountains of the Andes. The rest, we'll lease out to others, splitting the royalties 50:50.

The pacNW already controls all of the coffee plantations. Not to mention REI, how are you going to do anything in the jungles and mountains without DEET, goretex, climbing gear, and crampons? If that don't work, microsoft will cut you all off, hah!, 90% of you would be SOL.
We'll let part of Chile go but I'm keeping the seabass fishing grounds; Texas can have the desert and the Argintinian range land, if North Cal shows up they can split the Chiliean vinyards with us.

How does giving Mexico to Texas sound, except Baja and the greater Tijauana area - which So-cal can have?

So-Cal can also have Panama and part of Colombia, Venezuala seems like Texas material, The Andes and the whole Amazon basin from Brazil to Peru is for the PacNW along with Costa Rica and the rest of Colombia as well as the mountains of Southern Argentina (so we can ski in July)
